Item description from seller

Sydney, Kavanagh and English Ltd., 1937. Quarto, 28 pages. Colour-decorated wrappers lightly rubbed and a little marked; minor signs of age and use (including two light stains to one page); a very good copy. Price List Number 326 of an unspecified upper limit. Loosely inserted is a processed circular letter on the company's letterhead (2 leaves, rectos only, folded for posting, the leading edges now creased with a few tiny sealed tears). The letter, dated 1 April 1937, outlines the trade terms, prefaced with the following paragraph: 'It is regretted that, owing to the tremendous increase in the price of metals and other materials, together with increased production costs, we have been forced to reduce the Discounts applicable to our List'. The letter, addressed to L. Cann (proprietor of the eponymous hardware store on The Parade at Norwood in suburban Adelaide), is signed by 'J.M. Gregory' - none other than Jack Morrison Gregory (1895-1973), the famous Australian Test cricketer. During the First World War, he 'had two tours of duty in France. In 1919 he joined the A.I.F. cricket team in England. Under the leadership of H.L. Collins, Gregory developed into an all-rounder whose spectacular hitting was matched by fearsome fast bowling and prehensile slip fielding. Discharged from the A.I.F. in March 1920, Gregory played a leading part next summer in the recovery of the Ashes from England, with 442 runs at 73 in the five matches, including a century at Melbourne, 23 wickets at 24, and 15 catches. In December 1928 he broke down with a knee injury in the first Test against England and retired. In 24 Test matches he had taken 85 wickets at 31, made 1146 runs at just under 37, and taken 37 catches. In first-class cricket his figures were 504 wickets at 21 and 5661 runs at 36. He had joined Kavanagh & English Pty Ltd, sheet metal manufacturers, in the mid-1920s and was a director by 1928' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). [2 items].…
